It's certainly forward, but it's a much more interesting proposition than "what do you do for work?" It assumes you've already broken the ice with some banter, and you're at a fork in the road - you can talk ab

If it had "snooze" I'd give it a shot. I don't want to run client software or third party extensions.

Otoh if the sender could reliably know if the message was received/read, then we could get rid of the Victorian age idea of mailing bits of dead trees around for official notices.

And some people enjoy tobacco. That doesn't mean it's smart to continue breathing it in.

Is that the major factor? I'd thought it was more: * Proximity to low latency backbone connections (originally located there due to government agencies) * Tax incentives by VA * Low risk area for disasters * Cheap power * Available lan

Diminished. It's extremely common for teams to be online throughout the same business day. If you have an entirely async team where you can't coordinate time to exchange work product, then sure, you need an async third party locat

That's partly a tooling issue, though. If git had native requests and a decent UI around them baked in, and the UI client also had some way of discovering your peers across networks, then the need for gitlab/github would be dimini

To give Holy Stone credit, they have good customer service. I bought one of their crappier models when I was first exploring the quadcopter marketplace a few years ago. They did the usual thing of proactively emailing and asking for a revie

Check out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.acmeaom.an... - for me it's a full replacement for wundermap (there's a lot of wundermap stuff that I didn't use though, so ymmv).

There are two good youtube clients on FDroid. SkyTube allows you to subscribe to channels without having a google account. Neither has ads. There are a few glitches, but nothing you can't live with.

Anecdata: I've had three lifelong Python devs on our team independently tell me that they don't want to do Python anymore, after working in Kotlin for a month or two. It's really a great middle ground between Java and Python.

I haven't checked out v11 yet, but since it's not yet mentioned I assume the admin UX hasn't been addressed. Of all the tools I have admin on, Gitlab's admin UI (spread out across multiple sections) is perhaps the most s
